Hey y'all, new here and will be "dark siding" very soon! My question is how will I balance my spoke? It won't be sealed, will still be using a tube.

You can use Dynabeads in an innertube or hang those ugly weights on a spoke.
I've run Dynabeads http://www.innovativebalancing.com/ for about 25,000 miles now and just love them. thumbup

Thought about the beads, but was worried about them damaging the tube.

Beads will not damage the tube, You can also balance it using the spoke weights like usual.

It's as easy to balance a car tire as it is a motorcycle tire. Simply use the axle on stands to spin the tire to find the light side of the tire/wheel and put the spoke weights one.
